Several people avoid movie theatres as if they are the plague for a smorgasbord of reasons, but ultimately, the…

Hayao Miyazaki is considered as one of the greatest animated filmmaker of his time. Studio Ghibli’s works are a breakthrough in modern animation, bringing both reality and fantasy together in a whole other level and give the audience something that they can keep with them long after they have seen the films. It’s more than a moral to the story, and more than a lesson that we must learn from the protagonist’s adventure(s). Miyazaki’s movies are not black and white, but actually rather more…

Since then the company has produced multiple sets of work such as Romeo and Juliet where their dancers were showcased performing in front of a huge crowd at the Joburg theatre and other stages carrying out that mission.

Kaity, my dance partner, had a difficult time walking and getting around the studio. Despite this, my dance partner will always have a smile on her face from the moment practice started till it ended. She enjoyed ballet dancing and was looking forward to joining ballroom dance…

according to these issues so everything would still get done in time. For instance, I initially wanted to record the EP in an Adelaide recording studio over a few days. However, due to the busy schedule of the musician who played for my EP, we had limited time where he was available. As a result, we recorded the songs in one day. Also, the cost of an Adelaide studio was quite expensive for me to pay. Therefore, we recorded at the local church as it was less expensive and still had quality…
